Long-Term Running Goals:

After my mission (tentatively June 2017-June 2019), which will be two years of virtually no running, I want to build my fitness back up stronger than it ever was before. Then when I think I am ready I may attempt for a spot on the USU roster again. We'll see how long I have to do that based on age and eligibility and stuff. If I don't ever do it that's fine, I'll still have a lot of fun with running. Some times I want to beat someday:

15:30 5K 

1:10 HM

2:40 Marathon

I have a fantasy in my mind of really breaking through in the marathon and making the olympic trials but we'll see about that haha. That would honestly be a dream come true. I definitely want to run the Boston Marathon at least once. Also maybe when I'm old but not too old I might try a 100 miler to qualify for Western States. 

 

 

Personal:

Freshman at Utah State University. I still have not chosen a major. Just graduated from Logan High School in May 2016. One thing I enjoy aside from running is music, weather it's playing or listening. I am member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and plan on serving a two-year mission after two semesters of school.

Taper workout today. I lifted the ever so slightest bit in seventh just so my muscles don't stagnate (with a half mile warmup) then in practice after our team meeting it was half mile, drills, and hip drills while Coach went and picked up his daughter. I worked out with 4/8 guys today to get some more speed goin. It was 2 500s with 5 minutes rest. First 300 was at 800 pace (or faster) and then we floated for 100m and kicked it in the last 100. We all did it in our spikes (Tyler, Isaac, and I) Isaac led the first one and we hit 300 in 42 he said, but I'm not completely sure about that. It felt pretty controlled. Then I think he misheard the instructions and thought we were supposed to jog, so he slowed way down and I slammed into him, but kept going. The 100 was probably mile pace. Last straight actually felt like I was running in a 400 or something. Next one I led and the 300 was 44, it was pretty tough, felt like I was in the middle of an 8. At this point Isaac pulled up next to me, but then tucked in for the float section. We hit the 100 and we were racing to the line, it was almost like an actual race for real. He beat me, and it turns out he was taking it more controlled, but I was all out like I was supposed to be. S'okay, that was pretty good, mentally really easy workout. Sean said we looked good too. Hopefully it primed me for region well. Mile cooldown around the school and then iced the lower legs, I was too wimpy to do the full body.

Premeet in seventh hour. I did 3 laps, changed into the victories and jogged to the waterfall. Was going to do just 2 400s but halfway through the first one my shoelace came undone, so I made it a 200, think it was like 33, felt relaxed. After that I did a harder one that was a 68 and then more relaxed which was 72 (don't worry, being in a race always takes off a few second per lap with the exact same effort) Cooled down to three and left.

Good day. My legs actually felt pretty good before the race. It was the first event of the day so that was nice. Before I knew it the girls were racing and it was almost my turn. We did the mini waterfalls again but it was five for each, which was way too much, it sucked. So I didn't make an effort to get to the front off that, I let them get in fron of me and then made sure I didn't get boxed in after the break line. First 200 felt alot better than usual. We came through in 67,  but it felt more relaxed than at Davis. I was in fourth. We hit 800 in 2:17 and I think I was still in fourth at this point, with Payton Bailey right in front of me, and Jack and Luke up ahead. I moved into third with 2 laps to go, and held it till 1200. By this point I think Jack had dropped Luke. When we hit 1200 Colby Hamson had passed me and Nate Medsker passed me very closely and kind of cut me off, it was annoying but I'm not mad. So I was in fifth with a lap to go, not a good place. I was still in fifth with 200 to go, but then Luke blew up and we all passed him. 100 left I was in third, and Nate passed me and Colby. So I was in fourth, and I looked over my shoulder and Luke was not close at all, so I think I relaxed a little bit unintentionally. If Luke was still up there and I was in fifth I think I probably could have passed Colby and gotten fourth, but lukily I didn't have to. The timing system glitched during the race and they didn't get our times, but Nate said he got about 4:34, so I was probably 4:36, and that's what they put me down as,  a 4:36.00, but I don't feel like that's my real PR, I'm just never going to know for sure, and I'm actually pretty pissed about it. I have to beat it at state. After the race the pain in legs lingered for a really long time and I could hardly stand, it was bad. 800 and 4x4 tomorrow. It was beautiful weather today by the way!

Just had the thought that this was 19 seconds faster than my race at region last year, which was also a PR.

Just finished off arguably the best meet of my life! My mom thankfully let me sleep in today so I got solid sleep. It was about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday so it was crucial that I stayed out of the sun, so I did. My legs actually felt semi-tired during the day. When it was time for the 800 I didn't feel too good on my warmup. We did two heats so we actually got our own lanes, it was sick, that takes away so much stress that comes with that event. The gun went off and I think I hit the break line in first, and I led till Ethan Hurst took the lead maybe 200 in. At 300 Jack passed me, but I still didn't feel too bad. I felt better than ever at the 400 mark. Turns out the leaders came through in like 61, which could put me at a 62! And yeah, the backstretch didn't feel as bad, but Isaac passed me there and it put me in fourth. On the curve I looked over my shoulder and I had a huge gap on 5th place, so I just tried to maintain it. What really would have helped me is if I had tried to pass Jack (he took 3rd) maybe I could have finished closer to him or beat him. Ethan ran a 1:59, Isaac was really close to breaking 2, Jack ran a 2:00.51, and I came in a second later at 2:01.51, with Tyler at 2:03 something. Fun fact: 2:00.51 would have taken 4th at the Region 5 meet last year, so that's pretty cool to think. 2-5! And then Jack got interviewed for a long-a time cuz they want to do a feature article on him. I next had the 4x4 prolly 20 minutes later. Felt okay. I was the third leg and I got the baton in second. I pretty much maintained the distance and I split a 52 high. At this rate I'll be in the 51s for the state 4x4! We got second, but three of us ran the 800, and the other two that ran the 800 also ran the 400 before and the 200 just barely. I think we got like 3:34, but we will wreck at state and hopefully get medals. Last time racing on the home track *sniff sniff*. Cooled down a half mile during awards. Great job to everyone who raced today! No matter what region you are in, I read your report, just lettin you know, this race entries section is convenient. 

Just checked and it looks like our region is the second most competive in 3A Distance to Region 9 (Southern Utah). Makes feel a little cooler.

.5 and then lifts in seventh hour. I was thinking about going on a trail run, and it turns out Coach Strand had the same idea, so we took two vehicles to Logan Canyon, one of which was Strand's car which he had me drive lol. High of 81 I think today, and it definitely felt like it. Good stuff, we had Paul and Kalin with us even though their season is over. We just went 4 easy, and then pace was prolly high 7s.

I slept in today and it was too hot to run, so waited till dusk. Took a little longer to get out though because I finally got my senior pics taken lol. I did 6 miles out to Trapper Park, east on the river trail, and then back on Park Ave. and by Woodruff. Threw in about 5 one minute tempo pushes toward the end cuz I was bored. 7:06 ap. Felt really weird to head out for a run from the house because I haven't done that in a while with practice or races all week long. Real flashback to the summer training grind, especially the sleeping in and waiting till the evening. I'm almost excited to run higher mileage again, but I really don't want track to be over.
